## AI Policy and Guidance
### AI-Assisted Contributions
AI tools are welcome in this project. We use them ourselves. What matters is the quality of what you submit and your ownership of it.
**You are responsible for everything you submit.** If you used AI to help write code, documentation, or a commit message, you must understand, review, and test it before opening a PR.
**Respond to reviewers yourself.** When engaging with maintainers during review, do not use AI to generate your responses.
**Disclose AI usage** in your PR description if AI tools played a significant role.
**Please note:** We reserve the right to close low-quality or unreviewed AI-generated submissions without extensive feedback.
*This guidance was shaped by the practices of the OCM community and other open source projects (thank you!) and will evolve. Contributions and suggestions are always welcome.*
*This section was drafted with the assistance of AI, in keeping with the very guidance it describes.*
*This project follows the Linux Foundation's policy on generative AI contributions — see [AI_POLICY.md](AI_POLICY.md) for details.*
**We continue reviewing legal requirements and always have alignment with the CNCF rules and guidelines; this is an evolving space and may change without notice.**
